I would like to change the size of the poster to 36" X 24". It appeared as if the columns would adjust automatically with the new width. However once I change the size the columns don't change at all and the top title doesn't remain centered.

Hmm that's odd, you'd think that adjusting those values should adjust everything else automatically since everything is a proportion of \linewidth. I don't have the time to figure out why this is happening at the moment but the solution is to do the following:

1) Set \paperwidth to 36in and \paperheight to 24in in main.tex2) Change \usepackage[scale=1.24]{beamerposter} to \usepackage[scale=0.8]{beamerposter} in main.tex3) Change \setlength{\paperwidth}{118.82cm} to \setlength{\paperwidth}{80cm} in beamerposter.sty just after "%a0" on line 49.

That worked great! Thanks for the help. I have one other question, I have only been able to edit this document on the online editors because my local editors say it is missing the translator.sty. Do you know where I can find that file? It didn't come in the zip with the other files.

I am also trying to change the size of the poster, but to 42" by 30". I implemented the same sort of changes as the previous user Jake, but I am having problems as the document is made un-centered and runs off the right edge. I'm wondering if this aspect ratio is just un-doable for the template, or if there might be an easy fix for this.
